Howard Johnson by Wyndham Torrance

Affordable place in safe location, but don't expec

The price of the room was quite satisfactory, less than $100 a night. Torrance is definitely not a sightseeing location, but that's not why I stayed there. The surrounding neighborhood is also relatively clean and safe. If you're staying in the area for business purposes and don't intend to spend too much time in the hotel itself, then I have no problems recommending this hotel. In fact, I do plan on staying there in the future for just that reason.

The room I stayed in had ants, not a lot of ants marching in formation; rather, just a few ants here and there in the bathroom, along the walls, etc. I didn't have any open bags of food or sweets lying around, so I was wondering what they were looking for, especially in the bathroom. I didn't keep anything in the bathroom at all. Also, the continental breakfast did not have any meat or cooked food at all. It's just cereal, cook-your-own waffles, bread, and ready-to-eat pastries. Finally, there's no washing machine at all. So if you stay there long, you'll need to hop on over to the local laundromat to wash your clothes there.
